GB News will endeavor to shake up the broadcasting landscape when the news community launches its Television set channel in early June.
The news service, spearheaded by veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil, has announced options to go reside on Sunday June 13.
In a tweet, the channel claimed it would launch at 8pm with a special programme, ‘Welcome to GB News’.
The 24-hour news channel plans to battle the BBC and Sky News by focusing on audiences that have become disillusioned with traditional broadcasters’ protection.
The channel, backed by the American broadcaster Discovery, has hired a raft of seasoned journalists, such as veteran ITV news anchor Alastair Stewart and former BBC News presenter Simon McCoy.
In recent days it has been ramping up the publicity around its forthcoming launch, with social media films of its new London-based studios in Paddington.
